NC7WP02L8X

Overview

The NC7WP02L8X is a dual 2-input NOR gate from the TinyLogic UHS series, manufactured by Fairchild Semiconductor (now onsemi). It features an open-drain output stage suitable for wired-OR applications. The device operates within a broad supply voltage range of 1.65V to 5.5V and utilizes advanced CMOS technology for ultra-high speed performance with low static power dissipation. It is housed in a space-saving US8 MicroPak leadless package.

Feature Summary

• Open-drain output stage enables wired-OR logic configurations
• Ultra-high-speed operation with high output drive capability
• Broad operating voltage range supporting 1.65V to 5.5V
• Space-saving MicroPak leadless surface-mount package

Applications

• Wired-OR logic implementations
• High-speed digital signal processing
• Low-power portable electronic devices
• Voltage level translation between 5V and 3V systems

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer status as Fairchild Semiconductor was acquired by onsemi; confirm part availability through current distributors. Check for RoHS compliance and REACH status documentation. Ensure the specific suffix L8X corresponds to the required MicroPak packaging variant. Validate that the open-drain output configuration meets the system design requirements for wired-OR applications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when an open-drain NOR gate is required for wired-OR functionality or bus sharing. The wide voltage range allows compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V logic families. Consider the small footprint of the MicroPak package for dense PCB layouts. Verify input overvoltage tolerance if interfacing with higher voltage signals.

Part Context

This component belongs to the TinyLogic UHS family, designed for ultra-high-speed applications with minimal power consumption. The NC7WP02 variant specifically provides two independent 2-input NOR gates. The 'W' indicates the UHS series, while 'P' denotes the package type. This series is engineered to match LCX performance at 3.3V while offering broader voltage flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

NC7WZ38L8X is a documented similar part number within the same series, also featuring an open-drain output.
